The Shark Freed from Her Cage
I am getting out of sync with time.
Arriving at 9:45 for my 10:45 appointment.
Waking at 5am and returning to sleep by re-entering my dreams.
Sincerely believing it to be Monday when I attended church that morning but it seems SO LONG AGO.
I don’t want to scare you, but I think I’m drifting away from the framework of this world, raising that invisible grid we place over our experience of living that leaves us as captured as a shark in a cage.
For good or bad, I’m freeing myself, swimming uninhibited in the ocean, a world without time.
Remember this when I’m late for our meeting.

Interesting . . . . Something similar has happened to me this year. I am no longer as reliable as I used to be.

And, if you’re like me, that is kind of startling, to be the less reliable one!

Time is such an over-important part of today’s world, it’s nice to feel free at times 🙂
Ellen Morris Prewitt
You are so right. I’ve always been very time-conscious, so this is a new development for me.

You put words to something I haven’t understood about myself lately. I must be close to trying to raise the grid myself. I keep feeling the pull to stay with the framework, but you are helping me reconsider.

Ironically, my dad was the one who taught me my time orientation, and it was being present at his passing in August that taught me the fluidity of time—life is so strange.

I really like this. Gives new meaning to killing time. I am so done with it all too.

“Killing time” – love it!
